Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants & Other Municipal Projects

31-1 Hess Hathaway and 16-2 Ridgetop Water Treatment Facilities, Waterford, MI Work at the 16-2 site consisted of a building addition linking the existing treatment facility to the well house. This addition houses a new pressure filter, laboratory space and a blower room. Under the same contract, a new facility was constructed at Hess Hathaway park. The building's unique barn design helps it blend with the park's working farmhouse and houses 2 pressure filters with the necessary appurtenances.

Chelsea Water Treatment Plant, Chelsea, MI A new 0.85 million gallon per day Water Treatment Plant was built for Chelsea with the associated site work, utilities and a water production well. This plant is based on the Tonka WT System utilizing a combination of gravity filters and Osmonics RO process.

East China Water Treatment Plant, East China, MI For the Charter Townships of East China and China, Reliance constructed a state-of-the-art membrane micro-filtration water treatment plant, the first to use the Zenon system in the Midwest, to address long-standing problems with their source water and meet current and future drinking water requirements. Their existing 1950s sand filtration water treatment plant was nearing the end of its useful life and would have required extensive upgrades. The new 2.7 million gallons per day system includes a 500,000-gallon water tank, a new water intake structure and associated water distribution improvements. Construction was completed on schedule in July 2001 and the plant was immediately brought online. This project was awarded the 2003 ACEC-MI/MSPE Engineering Excellence Merit Award and the 2004 APWA-MI Project of the Year Award, Environment $2 to $10 Million.

Grand Blanc Water Treatment System Improvements, Grand Blanc, MI Work in Grand Blanc included the construction of additions at two existing water treatment plants on two well sites (Well Site 7 and Well Site 5/8), and the installation of a membrane treatment system. This system included five, 300 gallons per minute low energy (LE) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane packages (two at Well Site 7, and three at Well Site 5/8), and two clean-in-place systems. Electrical upgrades were made for the additions which included the installation of diesel generators.

Hudson Sanitary Pump Station Improvements This project consists of improvements to a sanitary pump station including the installation of submersible pumps and accessories. A considerable amount of bypass pumping was necessary to keep the wet well dry.

Kensington Metropark Wastewater System Improvements Kensington's aging wastewater treatment plant could no longer service the park. As a result, this project involved directionally drilling two miles of new HDPE forcemain to connect the park's sanitary with Milford, replacing two-thousand feet of forcemain under Kent Lake and upgrading two existing pump stations. Finally, the existing wastewater treatment plant was decommissioned and demolished.

Lexington Water Treatment Plant Improvements, Lexington, MI Work consisted of the construction of a water treatment plant building expansion; installing owner furnished micro filtration equipment; furnishing and installing low service pumps, high service pumps, backwash supply pumps, chemical feed equipment and all related piping, electrical, instrumentation and site work.

North Campus Pump Station Improvements, Ann Arbor, MI This project consisted of the replacement of two 2 million gallon per day pumps and associate motors, one 4 million gallon per day pump and motor, electrical switchgear, instrumentation, painting and concrete repair. New circulation and exhaust fans were also installed with the necessary ductwork.

Pump Station and Water Storage Facility, Harrison Township, MI Reliance Building Company partnered with Johnson & Anderson to design and build a 750,000 gallon water storage tank and pump station system for the Charter Township of Harrison. The system will allow the township to pump and store water purchased from DWSD during non-peak hours for later use during periods of high flow.

Sanitary Lift Station 3 Improvements, West Bloomfield, MI This project consisted of improvements to an existing sanitary lift station. Work included the removal and replacement of vertical dry pit pumps and motors, process piping and valves, construction of a bypass force-main by directional drilling, upgrades to power and instrumentation and the maintenance of existing sewage flow during the renovation via temporary bypass pumping.

Water Treatment Facility 28-1 Improvements, Waterford, MI Work on this project included the demolition of the building's existing water filter units, construction of a new well house and the construction of two pressure filters and all appurtenances including complete electrical system and control upgrades.
